I do not know how come we Liberians love "law business". Everywhere you turn, someone is a lawyer. I guess something went wrong back in the day (in the 50s, 60s and 70s). For some reason almost everyone seemed to have gone to school somewhere and studied the law, or if not that, political science, philosophy or some other useless profession for the future of a developing country. What happened to the entrepreneurs, the doctors, the engineers, the industrialists, the scientists.....the list just goes on.
What has a lawyer ever produced that has contributed to the development of our nation? A bunch of words. People cannot eat words. You cannot sell words. Just look at our society today. Everywhere you turn, someone is arguing about something. Everyone is politicizing everything. People can sit and invent hidden agendas in just about everything. Just look at the grumble about a "passport" in the media. It makes you sick.
Now that I have gotten that out of my system, let me clarify myself. If you are going to study the law, fine. I will not hold it against you, but please when you get your degree, seek a job in the judiciary or in any related business. Start your own law firm even.

Whopee, got you sweet!
I could not stop laughing the other day, it was just so typical of our nation, that I had to write this piece.
Our auditor-in-chief, who is going to be responsible for performing audits on all government entities in the future recently dismissed his entire staff of auditors in order to reformat the competence level at the commission. Right away, dismissed workers cried foul and ran to their buddies in congress, who in turn, issued an order to the said commission to reinstate these souls. They also summoned the a-i-c to"give reason why he should not be held in contempt".
Can you imagine this? Our lawmakers interfering in the business of a governmental agency.
It got even better when said auditor informed said congress that he was carrying out the work that they had approved about 3 million to in the budget that they had recently passed. He even pointed out that if said lawmakers had bothered to read what they had approved, the whole situation would not have arisen.
In the cause of the people, corruption will diminish. Just wait.
